Nonstop flight route between Hawi, Hawaii, United States and Lamidanda, Nepal:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Upolu Airport (UPP), Hawi, Hawaii, United States and Lamidanda Airport (LDN), Lamidanda, Nepal would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,121 miles (or 11,460 kilometers).

A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the large distance between Upolu Airport and Lamidanda Airport, the route shown on this map most likely appears curved because of this reason.

Try it at home! Get a globe and tightly lay a string between Upolu Airport and Lamidanda Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Upolu Airport (UPP) currently has only 1 runway.
• Because of Upolu Airport's relatively low elevation of 96 feet, planes can take off or land at Upolu Airport at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation. This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
• Upolu Airport was originally built in 1927 for the United States Air Service to be under the control and management of the War Department.
• The closest airport to Upolu Airport (UPP) is Waimea-Kohala Airport (MUE), which is located 22 miles (36 kilometers) SE of UPP.
